Dreaming While You Sleep Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In and out of darkness, in and out of sleep
Trying to keep my hands upon the wheel
Never saw the corner in the driving rain
I never saw her step into the street
[Refrain]
Dreaming while you sleep
Dreaming while you sleep
Memories to keep
Dreaming while you sleep
[Verse 2]
I can never understand what went through my mind
I didn't stop to see what I had done
I had to keep on driving deep into the night
The miles between would somehow put it right
[Refrain]
Dreaming while you sleep
Dreaming while you sleep
Memories to keep
Dreaming while you sleep
[Chorus]
All my life, you lie silently there
All my life, in a world so unfair
All my life, and only I'll know why
And it will live inside of me
I will never be free
All my life, trapped in her memory
All my life, till the day that you open your eyes
Please open your eyes
[Refrain]
Dreaming while you sleep
Dreaming while you sleep
[Verse 3]
Heard it on the radio, saw it on TV
But could I take my secret to the grave
If I had another chance, would I do the same?
Would I still deny that it was me?
[Refrain]
Dreaming while you sleep
Dreaming while you sleep
Dreaming while you sleep
Are you dreaming while you sleep?
[Chorus]
All my life, I'll be haunted by
All my life, just one moment in time
All my life, until the day I die
And it will live inside of me
Oh, I will never be free
All my life, trapped in her memory
All my life, till the day that you open your eyes
All of my life, you lie silently there
All my life, in a world so unfair
All my life, and only I know why
And it will live inside of me
I will never be free
All my life, trapped in her memory
All my life, till the day that you open your eyes
[Outro]
All of my life
Just one moment in time
All my life
